Vampires

[farla]

So I think it's a mix of thinking of common tropes and writing and stuff like this percolating through my brain for a day or two, but I want to write some sort of vampire fiction where vampires are legitimately monstrous things, and they don't feed by sucking on two little neat holes that somehow allow for adequate blood draining, but by tearing open someone's throat with those fangs.

As with so many things, this is really more of a setting than a plot and so, for the moment, pretty much unwritable.

...fiction where vampires are legitimately monstrous things, and they don't feed by sucking on two little neat holes that somehow allow for adequate blood draining, but by tearing open someone's throat with those fangs.

The current lack thereof is among the top ten reasons why werewolves are just better.

Werewolves are swiftly becoming The Noble Savage v2.0 It's not quite as annoying as some of the extremes vampires go to, but the concept annoys me more in the first place, so it all balances out.

That said, I'm tempted to try to work out a way that the werewolves would be the ones in control and vampires the underclass. You'd think the wolves would tend toward hierarchical systems and the bloodlust-controlled corpses the ones existing on the fringe of society.

Goddamn it now I have to read through crappy werewolf and vampire fiction on fanlib. Hate you.
